Goa continues to work to increase security for tourists on its beaches after several high-profile incidents in recent years. Security patrols were extended to midnight on ten popular beaches in both north and south Goa, and the World Travel and Tourism Council donated a fleet of 22 vehicles equipped with communications devices to a new tourist security force to be staffed by ex-soldiers. The southern city of Madurai also has taken steps to form a tourist police force to aid visitors to the famous temple city. One police kiosk has been put in place and several others are planned, to be staffed by multilingual officers.
